got picks o that??? the ski… i mean the car ya the car :sure: lol 
Hehe… Should have more of the car at the weekend, once I’ve been into the garage again. 
Skirt is an option. 
Mustangs are much bigger cars, the typical American muscle car. Usually with a 4.6L V8, roaring down the highway. I much prefer the smaller well tuned engine, tight cornering, sports car. 
My friend had an old MG, I remember us having to hit the starter with a hammer to get it started. It was cheeper than buying a new starter. :sigh:

4.6L? This little baby only has a 1.8, but it’s a light car with 160 brake… So goes like **** off a shovel, to coin a phrase.
From what I’ve seen though, most American cars are powerful but heavy… I’m sure there’s exceptions of course, but as a generalisation…
You are pretty much correct. Most of the domestic sports cars are heavy, with a large displacement engine. I think that stems from the old “muscle cars” that needed big engines to run because they were big and heavy. That design trend never seemed to stop. Even the “non-sports” luxury cars have bigger V8’s. Not to mention the trucks and SUVs that have 5.9L+ displacements. It makes me wonder how people can afford the fuel required to run their car.

That’s what I was thinking the consumption on those things must be massive… Mind you, I also believe that fuel is a darn sight cheaper out there than it is in England… :sure:
Yup, us Americans love our excess!
Myself, I like german cars, the doors go “thunk” when you close 'em. That makes me happy for some reason.
Ah, the German precision.
I just love sports cars… One of my favourite sounds has to be a V8 engine.
Plus this one is a soft top, so on the one day of summer we’re allowed each year, I can really enjoy it.
Yeah, I like sports cars too, unfortunately I can’t buy nice cars anymore, I’ve wrecked so many my insurance would be in the neighborhood of $400-500 a month to get full coverage. I refuse to throw away that much money a month on insurance, it’s just something I can’t rationalize. I’m a 23 year old unmarried guy, so I guess the only thing I can do is wait a few years, or get married.
hm, there’s a thought. Laidies? :p:
Oh well. :sigh:

How much is a gallon of 93 octane fuel for you there?
Cheers!
-Niann
About $1.70 right now, I think. Astronomical to me, a couple years ago you could get 93 octane for like 1.10 a gallon, at the most. I’m starting to hate the whole car thing, I want to move somewhere I can rely on public transportation.
britain is good for that
Sorry, that was sarcasm, wasn’t it? Britain having good public transport, I mean…
american cars are cool, really would like to own a ford mustang or another musclecar someday
for the amount of gas per mile you can fit an lpgtank for cheaper driving ;).
